Thank you again for all you do to ensure we succeed in our mission to preserve, share, and advance the horticultural and artistic legacy of John Fairey.
We are thrilled to announce our featured luncheon speaker, Lyanda Lynn Haupt, an award-winning author, naturalist, ecophilosopher, and speaker whose writing is at the forefront of the movement to connect people with nature in their everyday lives. Her most recent book is Rooted: Life at the Crossroads of Science, Nature, and Spirit, published by Little, Brown Spark. We are looking forward to being inspired by Lyanda.
Just to give you a sense of what a treat we're in for, here's a video of Lyanda's TEDxRainier talk, Encountering the everyday wilderness.
